No recurrence and 3 yrs 4 months out. Diagnosed Stage 2A.

BRCA 1 & 2 negative. Still had ovaries removed for a variety of reasons.

Only have tumor marker 27/29 as monitor every 4 months. See medical oncologist every 4 months, rad oncologist every 6 months, surgeon once a year, gyne once a year, primary care once per year (or if I am sick and need to see a doc - ie : sinusitis etc)
